We're gonna be okay

The first time it happened was shortly after she had climbed into the car, closing the door behind her. They were on the road in no time, the Titty Twister had turned into a small dot on the horizon.

Kate glanced outside the window, her eyes focused on a particular spot somewhere far in the desert. Seth drove silently and she was grateful for it; there was nothing he wanted to share or she wanted to hear. Part of her blamed him and his brother for all the damage he had caused to her family, and she would have told him so, under different circumstances. Right now it wouldn't be fair, he was suffering as much as she was, having lost his brother, too.

Suddenly her heart filled with so much sadness and sorrow, it almost left her breathless. She had lost more than she had ever thought she would, more than her young heart could handle. She had no one. She was alone in the world.

A small soft sob escaped her lips and Seth glanced sideways at her. He didn't say a word, just observed her as she cried in silence and suddenly felt sorry for her. She was too young and too innocent to be dragged into his mess, but now it was too late for her to walk away. On the other hand, his heart needed her; selfishly, he didn't want to let her go.

"Princess…" He said to her softly, but still loud enough for her to hear.

"I killed my father." she whispered, letting her tears run down her pale cheeks freely.

Seth stopped the car gently, sitting on his side, so he was facing her. She was aching in a way he was all too familiar with, and he wished he could help her, but there was no way he could erase the pain. So he did what Richie used to do when Seth was a kid and cried for hours; he held her hand.

Somehow that small gesture worked its magic for she stopped crying, though slowly. Kate smiled warmly at him, with a look that was entirely different to the one they had shared before. This one was of understanding and gratefulness. There wasn't even a hint of hate in her eyes and Seth was partially shocked when she didn't snatch her hand away. In fact, she gave it a light squeeze.

"We're gonna be okay." Seth told her.

She wanted to believe him.
